How families get in

Lawrence is assigned by home address rather than through a magnet application.

Check the exact home address using the CCSD zoning lookup.
Register through standard CCSD enrollment if Lawrence is the assigned school.
The campus is not listed among district middle-school magnets.
Any out-of-zone option follows current district Choice rules and depends on capacity.

Before making a housing decision

Confirm zoning for the specific street address.
Do not assume that an address near a boundary is assigned to Lawrence.

Attendance zones, School Choice rules and campus capacity can change. Out-of-zone transportation or placement is not guaranteed; confirm current rules with CCSD.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Lawrence zone and want a southwest Las Vegas neighborhood junior high.
Your student wants computer science, arts or club options without a separate district magnet application.
You prefer a local school rather than commuting to a magnet hub.

Think twice when

Your address is outside the zone and you are relying on open enrollment.
You want a district magnet seat with a specialized application pathway.
A large middle-school setting or possible crowding would be a concern.

Visit the campus and confirm current enrollment, capacity, electives, supports and school culture before deciding.
